| xubuntu02d | uhhh I don't know if this is working or not. | 06:10 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntu02d | I need some assistance. | 06:10 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu02d, ? | 06:11 |
| xubuntu02d | My little brother installed Xubntu on to my desktop years ago but doesn't remember the password he set for the user. | 06:12 |
| xubuntu02d | I've been trying to do a factory reset or something simuler to that cause I can't get the update for xubuntu 18.10 | 06:13 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu02d, i guess a re-installation is the way to go | 06:16 |
| xubuntu02d | I see, offtopic question. | 06:17 |
| xubuntu02d | It seems like Xubuntu runs faster then Windows 10 which makes me curious if simple games like Payday 2 or Left4Dead2 would be able to run on this operating system. | 06:18 |

| diogenes_ | with steam play quite possible | 06:20 |
| xubuntu02d | Alright, thank you. | 06:26 |
| wyseguy | i liking this xfce better than osx | 07:04 |
| diogenes_ | wyseguy, way better | 07:06 |
| wyseguy | diogenes_, only thing i miss is messages | 07:08 |
| wyseguy | any alternatives? | 07:09 |
| wyseguy | and time machine for backup | 07:09 |
| diogenes_ | dejadup is good for backup | 07:10 |
| diogenes_ | no clue about messages | 07:10 |
| wyseguy | imessage | 07:11 |
| wyseguy | ability to text on the computer and have it sync on the phone | 07:12 |
| xubuntu51w | I installed xubuntu 18.10 from the scratch. The installation goes rather well. Unfortunately there's a irregularity with my ACER laptop keyboard. A number of keys ( accessible with key FN ) generates the FN character. The wanted normal character cann't be typed. Those keys status are before the installation is correct ( checked during before installation) This failure occurs in Xubuntu 18.04, 18.04.1 and 18.10. Is this a known fai | 07:12 |
| diogenes_ | wyseguy, https://www.igeeksblog.com/best-imessage-alternatives/ | 07:13 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu51w, what characters it doesn't type? | 07:16 |
| wyseguy | xubuntu51w, menu, settings, keyboard, layout, keyboard model | 07:24 |
| xubuntu51w | the characters m, j,k, l,u,i, p. Instead the FN characters are given in spite the FN key hadn't been pressed | 07:25 |
| diogenes_ | try deactivating numlock | 07:26 |
| xubuntu51w | model: 105 keys with dead keys , international. layout: english (VS) international. | 07:27 |
| xubuntu51w | Those incorrect keys have typed properly in Ubuntu 18.04 | 07:28 |
| xubuntu51w | I have disable all options in vanin | 07:30 |
| xubuntu51w | in vain | 07:30 |
| diogenes_ | what laptop model? | 07:30 |
| xubuntu51w | acer TMB 116 with a standard US keyboard | 07:31 |
| diogenes_ | what character shows up when you press u? | 07:32 |
| well_laid_lawn | xev is a handy cli tool for finding out how X sees the keypresses | 07:34 |
| xubuntu51w | m = 0, j = 1,k = 2, l =3 ,u = 4,i =5 , o = 6 p = * | 07:39 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu51w, find a key labeled as 'num lk', 'num lock' or some times a '# symbol'. these keys are used for turning on and off the number lock facility. Sometimes these keys are associated with a 'Fn' key on the key board. Then you have to press and hold this 'Fn' key and then press the 'num lock' key. | 07:39 |
| diogenes_ | that's not an issue, i had it many times on some laptops | 07:40 |
| diogenes_ | you can also watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20BKGs91Oq8 | 07:40 |
| xubuntu51w | OK I try it later Thx U all | 07:42 |
| xubuntu51w | the mistyped key Irregularity in xubuntu 18.10 with acer laptop has been solved due to the tip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20BKGs91Oq8. Thank U all | 08:22 |

| Xatenev | hi | 13:54 |
| Xatenev | a friend of mine just has a new notebook with xubuntu 18.04 minimal | 13:55 |
| Xatenev | now when he launches any browser (tested with ff, chrome) the font of links seems to be gone for some reason? http://i.imgur.com/zPATnNK.png | 13:55 |
| Xatenev | its really weird, ive never seen something like this lol | 13:55 |
| Xatenev | in the green button should be "Sign in" | 13:55 |
| Xatenev | the top left links should be visible too, not just the first letters :P | 13:55 |
| Xatenev | and top right is a link too next to the icon | 13:55 |
| diogenes_ | Xatenev, that's because you've got a dark theme | 14:00 |
| diogenes_ | right? | 14:00 |
| Xatenev | diogenes_, dark theme of what exactly? | 14:00 |
| diogenes_ | of your xfce desktop | 14:01 |
| diogenes_ | what theme are you using in Appearence? | 14:01 |
| Xatenev | yes adwauta-dark | 14:02 |
| diogenes_ | ok then open the terminal | 14:02 |
| diogenes_ | run the following commands: | 14:02 |
| diogenes_ | cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default && mkdir chrome | 14:03 |
| diogenes_ | tell me when done | 14:03 |
| Xatenev | cybeaer, was the friend i talked about, he joined in now too :p so you can directly communicate lol | 14:03 |
| cybeaer | hi, typing the command right now ^^' | 14:04 |
| diogenes_ | cybeaer, ok tell me when done | 14:04 |
| diogenes_ | you gonna see no output | 14:04 |
| cybeaer | done and just switched to folder klsu8ig.default | 14:04 |
| cybeaer | nothing else | 14:05 |
| diogenes_ | now | 14:05 |
| diogenes_ | cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome && touch userContent.css | 14:05 |
| cybeaer | done | 14:05 |
| diogenes_ | mousepad ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome/userContent.css | 14:06 |
| diogenes_ | it will open a blank doc | 14:06 |
| cybeaer | yes (opened with vim) | 14:06 |
| diogenes_ | ok in that file you paste the following content: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qrZz2qgkpY/ | 14:07 |
| diogenes_ | save, close, re-launch firefox | 14:07 |
| diogenes_ | should be fine | 14:07 |
| cybeaer | nope still the same | 14:09 |
| diogenes_ | cat ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome/userContent.css | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io | 14:10 |
| diogenes_ | share the link here | 14:10 |
| Xatenev | diogenes_, Are you sure it should be called userContent.css and not userChrome.css ? | 14:11 |
| Xatenev | (Found some references related to userChrome thus the question :p) | 14:11 |
| diogenes_ | Xatenev, on my system it's userContent.css | 14:12 |
| Xatenev | ah :) | 14:12 |
| diogenes_ | also can you give me the link that you had troubles with | 14:12 |
| diogenes_ | and i check it on my ff | 14:12 |
| cybeaer | http.//ix.io/1ve1 | 14:12 |
| diogenes_ | cybeaer, yeah, looks right. If i had the link to the page i could test it. | 14:13 |
| cybeaer | tried with a light theme too (greybird) because at the moment i use adwaita_dark | 14:13 |
| cybeaer | http://git.bj83.de | 14:13 |
| Xatenev | fwiw userChrome.css seems to be used to modify firefox actual interface and not the webpage :) | 14:14 |
| diogenes_ | cybeaer, look fine here with that trick: http://i.imgur.com/lXJ3Ac7.png | 14:15 |
| diogenes_ | let me try without that trick | 14:15 |
| cybeaer | could it be that some fonts are missing? i installed the xubuntu minimal | 14:15 |
| cybeaer | if i remove the "font-weight" attribute (is set to normal) from the button the text is displayed | 14:20 |
| diogenes_ | hmm | 14:20 |
| diogenes_ | for me that website displays normal | 14:20 |
| diogenes_ | with or without any tricks | 14:20 |
| cybeaer | :/ every item containing the font-weight: normal or light wont show... bold and others work... | 14:21 |
| cybeaer | diogenes_: which firefox version do you use exactly? | 14:22 |
| diogenes_ | cybeaer, 63.0.3 | 14:22 |
| diogenes_ | but also i'm on a slightly different debian based distro | 14:23 |
| * diogenes_ is offline | 14:23 | |
| cybeaer | so the missing font/package could still be it? | 14:23 |
| cybeaer | if anyone want to know... it was the ms fonts that where missing... (ttf-mscorefonts-installer) seems there is no fallback font for them | 14:43 |
| cybeaer | if diogenes is back, pls tell him a big thanks from me ^^ | 14:44 |
| HealingTrout | Hello? | 19:25 |
| HealingTrout | I've been trying to do a full re-install & don't know how to do it. | 19:25 |
| HealingTrout | Been looking online & everything but so far came up with nothing. | 19:25 |
| diogenes_ | HealingTrout, what's exactly the issue you're facing? | 19:27 |
| HealingTrout | Well my brother installed Xubuntu on my computer, he forgot the password that he placed for it & so now I can't install anything on it. | 19:28 |
| HealingTrout | I was told last night that a re-install would fix it. | 19:29 |
| diogenes_ | HealingTrout, first of download xubuntu iso | 19:29 |
| diogenes_ | write it to usb | 19:29 |
| HealingTrout | Done | 19:29 |
| diogenes_ | is it on usb? | 19:29 |
| HealingTrout | Alright aside form writing it to usb | 19:30 |
| HealingTrout | I've moved the file to an external hard drive cause that's what I have currently. | 19:30 |
| diogenes_ | you need to write it to eitehr usb or dvd | 19:30 |
| diogenes_ | either* | 19:30 |
| HealingTrout | So it won't write to a external hard drive? | 19:31 |
| diogenes_ | HealingTrout, nope, to a usb | 19:31 |
| diogenes_ | to the external drive you copy all the data | 19:32 |
| diogenes_ | because you will have to delete everything, (if you don't have a separate /home) | 19:32 |
| diogenes_ | which i doubt | 19:32 |
| HealingTrout | Alright give me a second, lookin' for a usb right now. | 19:33 |
| drleviathan | I've been able to fix a lost password without actually re-installing. | 19:37 |
| HealingTrout | Back now | 19:38 |
| HealingTrout | Well there was another user telling me that I would need to do a full re-install to fix it. | 19:38 |
| HealingTrout | If there is another way that would be nice. | 19:38 |
| drleviathan | The method was: (1) boot from USB or DVC with "try xubuntu" option (NOT "install xubuntu") | 19:38 |
| drleviathan | (2) Once logged in to trial xubuntu: open terminal | 19:39 |
| HealingTrout | Also how do I go about writing it to the usb. | 19:39 |
| HealingTrout | Yea sorry, I know nothing of this, but my brother was using my computer as a sever & then he moved out. | 19:39 |
| HealingTrout | Without telling me how to revert it back. | 19:39 |
| drleviathan | to make a bootable USB... | 19:40 |
| drleviathan | uh... do you have a working xubuntu system? or are you on windows? | 19:40 |
| HealingTrout | I'm on a working Xubuntu System | 19:41 |
| HealingTrout | I know nothing about this system or how to use it. | 19:41 |
| HealingTrout | So yea. | 19:41 |
| drleviathan | so fist plug the USB into a slot | 19:41 |
| HealingTrout | Done | 19:42 |
| drleviathan | then open a terminal | 19:42 |
| drleviathan | and type: dmesg | 19:42 |
| HealingTrout | Alright | 19:42 |
| HealingTrout | Done | 19:42 |
| drleviathan | (which will print a lot of text to screen) | 19:42 |
| drleviathan | but you're interested in the lines at the bottom | 19:42 |
| drleviathan | they say something about detecting the USB and you want to know which device it is using | 19:42 |
| drleviathan | like: /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc | 19:43 |
| drleviathan | perhaps your system will automount the USB. The question is: which device? | 19:43 |
| HealingTrout | Give me a second | 19:44 |
| HealingTrout | This is what it gave me | 19:45 |
| HealingTrout | Damn, can't copy & paste | 19:46 |
| HealingTrout | Well then | 19:46 |
| drleviathan | just need to know the device | 19:46 |
| drleviathan | once you know the device you want to make sure it is not mounted (my system always automounts the USB) so I type: umount /dev/sdb1 (or whatever the device + partition is) | 19:49 |
| HealingTrout | I think I found it. | 19:49 |
| drleviathan | alternatively from dmesg, if your system automounted the USB drive you can type: mount (to list all mount points) | 19:50 |
| drleviathan | then once unmounted you would type: sudo dd if=/path/to/your/xubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M | 19:51 |
| drleviathan | where "if" stands for "input file" | 19:52 |
| drleviathan | "of" is "output file" | 19:52 |
| diogenes_ | drleviathan, he can't do sudo | 19:52 |
| diogenes_ | only on live system | 19:52 |
| HealingTrout | Don't know what a partition is. | 19:52 |
| drleviathan | oh, hrm | 19:52 |
| HealingTrout | Like I said, I know nothing about how Xubuntu runs or works | 19:52 |
| drleviathan | so is there a DVD writer and do you have a blank DVD? | 19:53 |
| HealingTrout | Yes to the writer, give me a second to find one, remember someone leaving a stack of it somewhere. | 19:54 |
| HealingTrout | Got it. | 19:55 |
| drleviathan | it has been a while since I've gone the DVD route | 19:55 |
| drleviathan | I need to look up some info. Perhaps someone else remembers. I think I used the cdrecord command but that command isn't available on my system right now | 19:56 |
| drleviathan | and if you need to install it... then this path wouldn't work | 19:56 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu afaik is shipping with xburn | 19:56 |
| HealingTrout | Alright then, well I've place the blank CD into the computer. | 19:56 |
| drleviathan | HealingTrout, is it a blank CD or blank DVD> | 19:57 |
| drleviathan | I don't see any xburn but I do see an xfburn (which I've never used before) | 19:58 |
| HealingTrout | The package on it says "TDK CD-R For Computer Burning Writeable Surface" | 19:58 |
| drleviathan | yeah, that won't be big enough for a full xubuntu install image | 19:58 |
| drleviathan | but perhaps you could download a smaller minimal installer and use that | 19:58 |
| drleviathan | the internet says lubuntu can fit on a CD-R | 20:00 |
| drleviathan | but no, the 64-bit version is 1.6G | 20:00 |
| drleviathan | ah, HealingTrout you want the "Ubuntu minimal CD" image | 20:01 |
| HealingTrout | Honestly @ this point I kida want to get Windows 10 back on here. | 20:01 |
| HealingTrout | Give me a second, I just decided to message my brother, didn't know if he was busy or not, | 20:02 |
| drleviathan | wow, the minimal install is only 64MB | 20:02 |
| HealingTrout | Fuck | 20:02 |
| HealingTrout | Give me a second, he's texting me though the steps. | 20:03 |
| drleviathan | however, the minimal might be "install only" and might not have the "try ubuntu" option | 20:03 |
| drleviathan | I've got to go AFK. Back in 1 hour. | 20:08 |
